READ THIS MANUAL FIRST
Read this supplement carefully before using your navigation
system. We are not liable for accidents or other problems
resulting from failure to follow the instructions in this sup-
plement.
OBEY LOCAL ROAD SIGNS AND REGULATIONS
Always obey local road signs and regulations while following
instructions given by the navi gation system. Some of the
data on the DVD-ROM disc may be outdated due to changes
in local road signs and regulations. Furthermore, the data on
the DVD-ROM disc does not take into account variable fac-
tors such as the weather, road congestion at different times
of the day, temporary road closures due to road construc-
tion, and special events. Local road signs and regulations
always take precedence over directions given by the system.
Failure to obey them could place you in physical danger or in
violation of the law.
DRIVE SAFELY
• Before following an instruction (for example, in the case of
changing direction) given by the system, check that the action
would be safe to take in the current traffic conditions. Continue
to pay attention to safety while following any instruction.
• Do not be distracted by the navigation screen.
Failure to keep your attention on the road could lead to an acci-
dent. When you need to look at the screen while driving, do so
for the shortest time possible and avoid staring at the screen.
•You must stop the vehicle in a safe place before operating
the navigation system. For safety's sake, some of the naviga-
tion system's controls and functions cannot be used unless
the vehicle is stationary.
• When you need to look at the navigation screen, do so for
the shortest time possible. Looking away from the road for
too long could lead to an accident.
• Use this system only in locations where it is legal to do so.
Some states/provinces may have laws prohibiting video
screens within sight of the driver.
• If you stare at the display with too much enthusiasm or oper-
ate the switches of the system while in driving, the naviga-
tion system could cause your attention to be distracted from
the current traffic conditions. Please be sure to input in the
system as much information as possible before taking your
departure. And also please be sure to bring your car to a
stop in a safe place if yo u need to input information.
• The buttons for the touch screen that cannot be used are
displayed in light color (tone down).
Operating the navigation system while in driving could cause
your attention to be distracted from the current traffic condi-
tions. And in consequence, this could result in a severe or fatal
accident. Follow the descriptions of all operations and the
instructions for safety given in this manual without fail.
VOLUME LEVEL
• Keep the system's volume level low enough for you to be
able to hear outside sounds while driving. To do otherwise
may prevent you from reacting appropriately to traffic con-
ditions and could result in an accident.

Before Use
NOTE• In the interest of safety, the use of some functions may be unavailable
while in driving. The button for a touch screen that cannot be used will
be displayed in tint color (toned down).
• Liquid-crystal displays may be difficult to read when wearing polarized
glasses.
CAUTION
FOREIGN OBJECTS
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the disc insertion slot,
including your fingers.
Foreign objects inside the system's main unit could cause an
electric shock or a fire. If the main unit emits smoke or an
unusual smell, stop using the system immediately and you
contact the nearest SUBARU dealer.
NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR MODIFY THE SYSTEM
Any attempt to disassemble or modify any part of the system could
lead to an electric shock or a fire , or some other type of accident.
Do not continue using the navigation system if it malfunctions
If the system shows any sign of malfunctioning (for example,
the navigation system gives no picture), stop using it imme-
diately and contact the nearest SUBARU dealer.
Continuing to use the system could lead to a fire, an electric
shock, or some other type of accident.
CAUTION
If the navigation system gets contaminated, emits smoke or an
odd smell, stop using it
If a foreign object gets inside the system, liquid is spilled
onto the system, or the system emits smoke or an unusual
smell, stop using it immediately and contact the nearest
SUBARU dealer. Continuing to use the system could lead to a
fire, an electric shock, or some other type of accident.

Before Use
■Points to note before use
Starting the engine before using the system
The navigation system can be used with the ignition key in either the
ON position or the ACC position. To preserve the battery, however, it
should be used with the engine running whenever possible. Using
the system for a long time with the engine off can cause the battery
to run down.
Delay before display of current position
The system will not immediately display a correct indication of your
vehicle's current positio n after being switched on for the first time or
after the battery has been disconnected for a long time. It will display
a correct current position indication as soon as it receives Global Posi-
tioning System (GPS) signals.
Program reloading after battery disconnection
The navigation program will be erased from the system's memory if
the battery is disconnected. If th is happens, load the provided DVD-
ROM disc in the system's main unit and turn the ignition switch to
the ON or ACC position. The system will automatically reload the pro-
gram and start operating normally again.
Incorrect operation on rough roads
The system may operate incorrectly or be unable to read the data on
the DVD-ROM disc when subjected to severe vibration caused by
driving on rough roads.
Handling the GPS antenna
Do not paint the antenna. Doing so could impair or prevent signal
reception. Disabled switches
Some switches are disabled during operation of the system. These
switches are displayed in fainter colors and no messages are dis-
played for them.
Risk of damage to the main unit
Be mindful of the occupant compartment temperature. Using the
system when the occupant compar tment temperature is extremely
high or low can damage it or cause it to malfunction. Also, note that
the system's main unit can be da maged by strong vibration and by
any metallic object or water that gets inside.
Condensation
Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit when there
is a rapid change in occupant co mpartment temperature (for exam-
ple, when the heater is switched on in cold weather). Such condensa-
tion can cause the system to operate abnormally. If you wait an hour
or so for the condensation to di sappear, the system should start
working normally again. If normal op eration is still not restored after
several hours, we recommend that you contact the nearest SUBARU
dealer.
Replacing the DVD-ROM disc
If you need to replace the DVD-ROM disc, make sure the replacement
disc is compatible with your system's main unit. Inserting an incom-
patible disc could damage the unit.

Before Use
■Handling precaution s for DVD-ROM discs
•Handle DVD-ROM discs carefully. An y DVD-ROM disc with excessive
warping or scratches on its surface can cause reading errors.
• Store DVD-ROM discs away from di rect sunlight, which can cause
warping and render them unusable.
• DVD-ROM discs rotate at high speeds inside the system's main unit.
Never use a cracked or badly warped disc; doing so could damage
the unit.
• To clean a DVD-ROM disc, lightly wipe it with a soft cloth in straight
lines from the center hole toward the outer edge.
• Never clean DVD-ROM discs with benzene, thinner, record spray,
antistatic spray, or chemical swabs.
• Do not touch the DVD-ROM disc's da ta surface (the surface without
a printed label). A dirty data surface can cause reading errors. Always
hold a DVD-ROM disc by the center hole and at one point on the
outer edge, or by two points on the outer edge.
• Do not write anything on DVD-ROM discs or affix anything, such as
stickers, to them.
